Pardon me for hijacking Pam's summary on yesterday's webinar, but I had some heartburn from her comment, "Ms. Cotton also talked about the fraudulent applications that aren't being processed, some from as far back as 2022." I'd say that's a bit of an understatement
of the current situation. By my checks, the <b>chaos goes back to 2020</b>.</div>

Recall that the search <span style="color: rgb(12, 100, 192);"><b>SA:("new application in the record" AND "not assignment to examin" )</b> </span>appears to identify all live trademark applications with the
<span style="color: rgb(12, 100, 192);"><b><i>new application awaiting assignment to an examining attorney</i></b></span> status on TSDR. (Since the SA field of Trademark Search is not displayed, this is my best guess for that retrieving all trademarks with
that status.) That search currently shows <b>4,809 <i>new</i> applications with filing dates in calendar year 2021</b> and
<b>201 <i>new</i> applications with filing dates in calendar year 2020</b> have the
<span style="color: rgb(12, 100, 192);"><b><i>new application awaiting assignment to an examining attorney</i></b></span> status on TSDR. </div>

The table below summarizes the <span style="color: rgb(12, 100, 192);"><b><i>new application awaiting assignment to an examining attorney</i></b></span> trademarks by calendar year on March 24th and today (April 24th). I'd summarize the progress towards resolving
these older trademarks in the last month for calendar years 2020 through 2023 as minimal.</div>

On Monday, I did raise this concern in advance for the webinar. I've copied the email below. Mentioning my first name, they very briefly (a few seconds) addressed this concern just before the webinar concluded. They stated that they were aware of these older
applications <span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">(blah blah)</span>, but they haven't resolved these older applications yet due to the huge backlog
<span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">(blah blah)</span>. Well, that's what I heard, but I didn't have closed captioning turned on to capture the text. (Alternatively, the USPTO might have created a new
<span style="color: rgb(12, 100, 192);"><b><i>suspicion of fraud</i></b></span> status for these applications, but the backlog ...)</div>

Additionally, the search <span style="color: rgb(12, 100, 192);"><b>SA:( "new application not assigned for examination" )
</b></span>appears to retrieve all live trademarks with the<span style="color: rgb(12, 100, 192);"><b><i> new application assigned to an examining attorney for examination</i></b></span> status on TSDR. (It would be nice if the SA field on Trademark Search
was displayed so that guessing the appropriate search terms would not be necessary. Further, the SA field could use the exact same status text as TSDR.) That<b><i> </i></b><span style="color: rgb(12, 100, 192);"><b><i>new application assigned to an examining
attorney for examination</i></b></span> status usually doesn't last too long, as that status changes as soon as the EA acts on the application. The table below summarizes the trademarks with that status for March 24th and today. (I'm thinking most of these
applications for calendar years prior to 2024 are stagnant but frankly have lost interest in performing any further analyses. I recall earlier comments on this discussion group that these older applications are not evident on the EA dockets, that EAs don't
even know that they're assigned these applications.)</div>

</div>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">I attended a USPTO Hour this morning where fraudulent applications were discussed. Amy Cotton was abundantly clear that the fraudulent application should not be pursued, even though the applicant was innocently
duped, and that the only thing that should be done is file a new application. I'm not familiar with the possibility of restoring or reassigning an application number to a different application, but based on what was said you're not going to get much sympathy.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">It was an interesting session, where I learned more than I expected to learn. Off the top of my head, my takeaways were:</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">There are two major categories of fraud they're looking at right now:</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"> Trademark mills, where US attorneys are signing applications prepared by others and not reviewing them;</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"> The theft of attorney credentials, California attorneys in particular.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</p>
<p class="elementToProof" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Ms. Cotton also talked about the fraudulent applications that aren't being processed, some from as far back as 2022. They are aware that these are causing hardship on other applicants because
they are holding up later-filed applications. They had hoped to dispose of them by now, but had to other fires to put out:</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"> An excess of fraudulent CAR filings</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"> ... and I forget the second one</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">But they are trying to get the fraudulent applications taken care of.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">They are working towards role-based access to logins, that is, you will only be able to work on your own records.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">They are working on automating the identification and processing of fraudulent applications. At the moment it is done manually. I have mixed feelings about this, mostly based on how it is implemented. I have long
thought that the PTO didn't appear to be taking advantage of the machine data they have available for the identification of fraudulent applications, so I am optimistic that algorithmic identification could be more reliable than the current practices. However,
I do worry that if a valid application is caught up (say you were on vacation in China and signed a few applications in rapid succession), your applications may get stuck in purgatory, or the algorithm is going to be less discerning than the manual process
now used.</p>

A new client of mine filed an application through a third party freelance service. The freelancer they connected her with filed two trademark applications under the name of an attorney not affiliated with them. The USPTO found out the attorney of record had
nothing to do with the filing and so issued a notice of incomplete trademark application and cancelled the application serial number. The remedy was to refile the application correctly and then file a petition to restore the serial number which was simply
denied. Can anyone with any experience with this type of petition provide any guidance on how to approach the USPTO and whether proving she was scammed is reason to restore the original serial number? </div>
